Fantasy Tip: Rogers suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament late in the season, so he may not be ready for the start of the 2018 season. Owners in most leagues can avoid him drafts but could be a waiver wire option during the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said he is excited to see what TE Vance McDonald can do with a full season with the team. "Having that type of player with us for whole offseason will only enhance their abilities to help us," McDonald said.

Pittsburgh Steelers FS J.J. Wilcox has been told by the team that they would like to bring him back next season, according to a source. Wilcox is expected to compete for playing time if he returns to the team.

Pittsburgh Steelers S Mike Mitchell expected to be released next week, although the team is open to bringing him back at a lower salary than the $5 million he is set to make in 2018, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: Bell likely will have a similar timetable this season as he did offseason when he did not report until the start of the season. Owners should continue to monitor the situation to see if anything changes in Bell's situation. He is a No. 1 running back in all leagues when he plays.

Fantasy Tip: It's a move that helps everyone involved. Now the Steelers can focus on trying to sign Bell to that long-term contract. As for Brown, he's a perennial No. 1 wide receiver and is worthy of top-five consideration in 2018.
